steve Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Sweet - there are many interesting features on this robot - the dome is a killer and I like the "rollers" under the feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboz Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Sweet - there are many interesting features on this robot - the dome is a killer and I like the "rollers" under the feet.yeah it's funny , these guys were kinda my B list however this particular one & the lantern would move up to the A list ..the other one is charming as well but shot him a @ a bad angle to show the topolino style nose.Fortunate to be in a select group that own examples of theserobots. The artist is very talented.I'm amazed (perhaps concerned :huh: ) that so many examples found their way to the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kenalexruss Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I feel like a parent in an empty nest who's robots have all growd up....Awesome pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks for the link and info guys. They are fantastic robots...bit expensive though. I think I had better buy some metal in and get creating one of my own. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Unfortunately Tinman93 these poor guys are still suffering from "jetlag" from their Japan trip and need some downtime.In reality I'm very paranoid about taking major pieces out of my house.Understood Steve. I don't have high-dollar toy robots but I'm pretty protective of a few of my robot models. I'm bringing two to display at Joe's, the yellow one you'll see was the 1993 National IPMS winner for the sci-fi category and almost won overall best in show. It did win BIS at the regional level which was probably one of the neatest days of my life (long story). Needless to say I'm pretty protective of it...but you guys are worth the effort to bring it. No better group of guys (and gals) to appreciate a robot model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan3b Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Understood Steve. I don't have high-dollar toy robots but I'm pretty protective of a few of my robot models.

No better group of guys (and gals) to appreciate a robot model!Tinman93, I don't expect you to ruin the surprise - but, I hope that after Botstock is over you'll post a picture of them here for the rest of us to enjoy that couldn't make the trip!

9tobor9 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 :D It always takes a little longer to get to Belgium ! My guys came in today !!!Put them next to a well kinown bot for size reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 So nice Xris - what is your opinion of them -I love mine!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tobor9 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Just flabbergasted ! They are of absolute true design & lines, catching perfectly the feel of the 50/60's toys.A tad expensive, of course, but so blasted super that they're worth the squeezing of the belt for a coupla months !!!I do not especially like the Tank on the sceen of the Television one, & will probabbly commit the "sacrilege" of putting something else there, don't know what yet !!!Hubba !!!

steve Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Yes definately a vintage special feeling to the guys. "I do not especially like the Tank on the sceen of the Television one, & will probabbly commit the "sacrilege" of putting something else there, don't know what yet !!!"Hmmm.......might I suggest a robot or astronaut in a cockpit of a spaceship or just a space ship itself or something to that effect.
